Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008007269A2] A media player (10) stores, or has access to, a set of media items (12). The player presents (20) a first of the media items. The set of media items (12) are ordered (32) according to at least one criterion indicative of similarity of the media items to the first media item. The player determines (37) what amount of the first media item was presented before an input is received from a user control (51). A second media item is selected for presenting using the determined amount as a measure for selecting the second media item from the ordered set of media items. A single user input (e.g. from a single button 51) can be used both to control the selection of the next item, and to determine the similarity of the next item. The ordering (32) can be based on similarity of features or similarity of metadata.
